There is no prescribed format for a payslip other than that provided under the Factories Act. A payslip is required to show the gross earnings, deductions, the number of days for which the salary is paid, and the net salary. All of these are incorporated in the payslip in question as well. Therefore, it can be taken as a genuine one. Besides, the basic intention of making a fake payslip, i.e., to show an inflated salary, is not present in it. It shows a very low salary, without deductions to PF, etc. Had it been fabricated, it should have an inflated figure with many statutory deductions.

Hi,I think it might not be fake because most the Companies in India issue these type of payslips for employees working on Temporary or Contract roles. — Shash

Dear All,
This salary slip appears to be fake based on my understanding. The CPF component mentioned in the slip should be applicable for both the employee and the employer, with the employer contribution being 1.5% of the basic salary if the employee is below or equal to the age of 35 years. However, in the attached salary slip, the employer contribution is empty, which raises suspicions of its authenticity.

It's pretty difficult to say whether the attached one is fake. Companies, as per their subject matter knowledge and technological inheritance, design their salary slips; thus, hardly any salary slip format of two companies is found to be identical.
A sneak review of the salary statement depicts the employee's address as Singapore and in all probability, the salary is being paid in dollars. CPF can be mandatory for employees based in India but not Singapore or other countries, so it cannot be taken as a factor for declaring the slip fake.
To end with, if the provided salary slip is one of the deciding factors in recruiting the respective employee, then verifying the same from the parent company itself is a viable and trusted option. We, with our speculations and derivations, should not define the fate of a maybe genuine prospect.

It's very difficult to justify the genuineness of a paper document. It should be verified with the supporting documents. In this case, it should be verified with the bank statement and employer as well; only then can we arrive at a decision whether this is fake or not. If the slip is not verifiable from the supporting documents and evidence, it will be considered a fake document.
As an HR person, ask for a salary slip supported by the bank statement bearing the bank's stamp.

As per my opinion, this payslip is genuine. The address given on the slip is Singapore, and the details of the pay must be in their currency. (Not sure about their deductions) So please check before you come to a conclusion.

I second the views posted here on the matter. This view, to me, represents the practical and workable solution rather than speculating on some genuine prospect even if the slip is fake. Let's not damage somebody's career as the name of the candidate is open in the salary slip. At most, why not verify the bank account which is mentioned in the slip and tally it with the amount.

Hi i Think Madhu sir is right. We must give the benefit of doubt to the employee since the salary in question is less than the minimum wage applicable these days.

Dear Abhishek,
The term CPF stands for "Central Provident Fund" in Singapore, and it is mandatory for employers to pay their percentage as per the basic salary guideline. I am familiar with the compensation policy of Singapore as I was part of the Sun Microsystems HR support for Asia Pacific.
Therefore, based on my understanding, the salary slip appears to be fake; however, it would be advisable to have it verified by an appropriate agency.

Hello,
I thank you all for your replies. This payslip has been submitted as income proof in a court case. Is there any agency for the verification of such documents? Can the agency provide its verification results as proof in court cases?

Can anyone please tell whether the attached payslip is fake or genuine?

Hey,
That payslip is fake since no deductions are made. Additionally, this payslip is from Singapore but does not mention the currency (whether INR, Euro, or Pounds). Kindly be careful.
Bingo!!

Dear All,
Just think about why this slip was produced for any company or individual. What was the motive behind its production and what changes were needed or made on that slip? Just reflect on that. 🤔

This payslip is definitely fake. One look at it, and you can tell that it is a tackily done job. There is no way that this can pass off as genuine. It seems more like a copy-paste job with different formats and a bad template. The main giveaway is the note at the end, which says it is a system-generated copy. Please note, system-generated copies are data fed into a company software, and the output is a well-generated copy. This has been horribly done. I have seen enough payslips to tell a fake from a genuine one.
